My application has been processed thanks. However I do have a question regarding Maintenance loans, special support grants (maintenance grants), ESA and DLA.
I have been supplied with the tuition fees - fine
I qualiied for the special support grant (maintenance grant) - fine based on my work group related ESA long term status - fine
I am also on DLA but do not wish to claim for DSA.
I know that I can claim for a Maintenance loan on top of my SSG but 'IT MAY' affect my benefits. I do not want to claim all of the maintenance amount available to me, probably only about half. Do you know if there is a limit which I can take where it doesn't affect my benefits at all? I think the amount available to my is £4018 as the SSG has been taken into consideration.
Many Thanks
Paul
